People who travel in Southeast Asia will hear such a story.
A newly married couple went shopping at a mall in Thailand. The wife tries on clothes in the fitting room while the husband waits outside.
But waiting for a long time, did not see the wife out, the husband went to the fitting room to check, but saw no sign of the wife. The clerks agreed that they had not seen his wife at all come to the shop.
Looking for local police, there was no way to find his wife, and the desperate husband returned home after his visa expired.
A year later, he came to Thailand again, to relax, he went to see a freak show.
A woman with her hands and feet cut off was locked in a dirty iron cage, and she could only whine because her tongue had been pulled out.
The man glanced at it and suddenly screamed in horror. The woman who was caged was his wife, who had been missing for a year.
This is the dark door of the fitting room.
The truth of the incident is being studied, but Thailand is not as safe as we think. Beneath its seemingly peaceful appearance, there are many crises.
Thailand ranks last in terms of security and safety in the selection of tourist destinations.
In 2017, the World economic Forum released the 2017 Tourism and Competitiveness report, with Thailand on the list of "one of the 20 most dangerous tourist destinations."
Australia's government has long defined Thailand as a high-risk zone.
Under its seemingly romantic and peaceful appearance, the, murder, trade in organs, slaves, and drug emerges in endlessly.
Gutianle starred in a film, "killing Wolves." he plays a policeman with a daughter who accidentally disappeared during a trip to Thailand. As a result, Gutianle launched a journey to find girls.
Sadly, her daughter was kidnapped by kidnappers. Her heart was dug up by kidnappers and transplanted to others.
Movies, in fact, can reflect just a part of the truth, in Thailand, kidnapping, trafficking in organs, is not the case.
In 2015, 26 bodies were exhumed from a jungle in Songka, Thailand. After increasing the search, a second, larger mass grave was found.
The dead were confirmed to be Rohingya from Myanmar and Bangladesh, and their deaths were brutally killed by traffickers.
They either came to Thailand because of poverty to find a job, or simply came to travel, no one thought, this will be a journey that has never been returned.
Thailand, the largest slave market in Southeast Asia, has more than half a million slaves who are often lured or abducted to Thailand.
It is their ultimate destiny to be killed, taken from living bodies, or sold to the red light area to provide sexual service, to an innumerable number of people.
There is a saying that where it is called a man's paradise, it is mostly a women's store.
As a result of the development of Thai sex industry, it became a transit point for less developed areas to be trafficked women.
In southwestern China, especially the Dai Autonomous Prefecture of Xishuangbanna in Yunnan Province, it has always been an important export of Thailand's trafficking and trafficking women industry chain.
The experience of a Dai girl has been reported by the domestic media many times.
When he was 18 years old, he was bewitched by a young fellow-native man. During the conversation, the man touted Thailand as if it were covered with gold, and as long as he went to Thailand, he would be able to make a fortune and return home.
Even the county has never been out of the small town girls, so set foot on the journey to Thailand.
A week later, the man handed the girl over to a local woman in her 40s, and then leave.
Before she knew the situation, the girl was sold to a nightclub and began her years of inhumane life.
She picked up guests day and night, and was beaten and scolded for a little disobedience. The body and mind suffered a great deal of devastation.
And with her, are from every place were abducted from the young girls, they are also carrying the dream of making money, were tricked here, in the sound of the place, into the men's plaything.
It is reported that Thailand has about 229,000 sex workers to provide special services to foreign tourists, and that number is still rising.
A significant portion of these fallen girls were trafficked.
Who could have thought that this simple-looking "smiling country", in its dark, hidden countless foreign women's blood and tears. They were forced to do the lowliest jobs to satisfy the darkest desires of the other.
Previously, the United States banned Alphabay, the largest illegal trading platform in the world's dark networks, in Thailand.
Logged in by encrypted means, unable to be tracked and read by the normal Internet, some criminals used Alphabay, to make all the illegal transactions we didn't expect.
Drug sells publicly on the platform.
The kidnapped woman was listed on Alphabay and sold publicly.
Once smuggled into the black market, you don't know how much money you're going to sell, or where or what you're going to do.
But the only thing you can confirm is that you will lose all your freedom and dignity and let your employer enslave it as an object from now on.
The disparity between the rich and the poor in Thailand is very serious. In the northern rural area of Ethan, many farmers have just crossed the poverty line of less than $2 a day. They are only 1 / 8 of the residents of Bangkok, and they can do anything for the money.
On Alphabay, killing is even allowed, and as long as you give money, you can arbitrarily kill another person you might not have anything to do with.
Not only are women in danger of being trafficked, the labour market has extended its black hand to the young and strong men who can provide the cheapest labor.
The Guardian has exposed Thailand's Shrimp Slave scandal. Large numbers of people from Myanmar and Cambodia were sold on board as commodities, waiting for them to be subjected to inhuman torture.
There is a man's blood and tears behind every Thai prawn we eat.
They work at sea for a long time, have no salary, work an average of 20 hours a day, have little sleep at all, and have only one meal a day, not even one meal a day. If you are a little careless, you will be insulted and beaten. Even facing death threat.
In order to keep the slaves alive and energetic, the shipowners even injected them with stimulants, and the incessant labor caused their bodies to collapse quickly. Once squeezed out of the last use of value, the shipowners would abandon them and find alternatives.
In addition to physical torture, mental torture is even more unbearable, and they have witnessed the killing of more than 20 slaves.
In one of the most cruel images, the owner tied the slaves' limbs to four ships in different directions, then ordered the ship to go, and the poor slave was torn alive.
Just because the slave was ill, the shipowner was not satisfied with the progress of his work and so brutally killed him.
For these lured slaves, suicide is relief.
They may be filial sons, loving fathers, and considerate husbands, but when they are sold to Thai fishing boats, they become slaves, working endlessly until they die.
In 2017, 9.8 million Chinese tourists to Thailand, accounting for 1/3 of Thailand's total tourists. Tourism revenues account for 10.6% of Thailand's GDP. Chinese tourists, on the other hand, contribute 3% of Thailand's GDP.
In 2018, Chinese tourists to Thailand exceeded 10 million.
These 10 million person-times, may have you, may also have me, may have our close relatives, the teacher.
We are attracted to the right temperature, exotic customs and low prices there. Most people think of Thailand as their first stop abroad.
It is undeniable that it is indeed a country suitable for tourism.
The seemingly peaceful and casual people, the curious existence of a third sex, and the wonderful culture of religion and porn articles as one and peace together attract us to learn about it.
However, we must not forget that the country is hidden in the dark, we are not aware of the danger.
Thailand's political situation has always been unstable, in just more than 80 years, there have been more than 20 times of military coup.
Street fighting, armed confrontation, is nothing new in Thailand. It wasn't until the last few years that it stopped a little bit.
Foreigners traveling on the streets may be caught up in their military struggle as soon as they don't pay attention.
Besides, elephants, which are popular with tourists, are also a security hazard.
Because Thai elephant tutors have very cruel behavior of abusing elephants, the elephants are irritable and dangerous.
In December 2017, Chongqing leader he Yongjie was trampled to death by an angry elephant in Pattaya elephant garden to save tourists.
In 2016, an elephant in Sumi burst into anger, falling off a tourist's back and then trampling to death.
Thailand Road is now the second most dangerous road in the world, with an estimated 24000 deaths a year, 73% of which are motorcyclists.
In addition, Thailand's corruption phenomenon has been very serious.
Offenders usually pay a fine after bribing and dredging the relationship with the authorities concerned, so that it can be done in a small and minor way. And for some "powerful people", government closed his eyes.
In March, for example, a woman from a wealthy family in Bangkok crashed into a bus without a license, killing nine people. In the end, law sentenced her to "two years in prison, and no jail term on probation."
The Bangkok Post criticized the fact that money had blindfolded the country and made some people fearless.
Foreign journalist John, who lived in Thailand for many years, angrily called the country the police and criminals family.
He said he had been drugged and robbed several times in a bar, while local police chose not to speak for taking bribes from bar owners.
What angered him most was that a motorbike party had robbed his backpack from the rear and dragged him down the street for a few meters, and a policeman was not far away at the time of the incident. Not only did not pursue the criminal, but also afterwards the police only perfunctory and helplessly shrugged.
Why do these cops dare to be so unscrupulous?
Because Thailand's bureaucracy has a strict asylum structure, simply covering up with each other, officials are often intertwined with each other through a variety of consanguinity, homeschooling or classmate relationships to form a network of cronies that are intertwined with each other.
You want to take down a cop, but there's a pretty deep background behind him, and that's why they're daring.
Thailand's government had also wanted to crack down on the corruption problem, but it had not been possible because of the political upheaval.
The porn industry is legal in Thailand, gambling, take drugs, trafficking in human organs is prohibited, but because of police inaction, there is a proliferation of violations here.
Writing so much isn't about black Thailand, it's about reminding everyone who travels, there's no beauty, it's worth swapping your life, going out and protecting yourself is the top priority.
Huxley's words in the Beautiful New World:
Who is willing to take the initiative to see the darkness and pain of the world when we immerse ourselves in the ocean of beautiful, bright, happy information every day?
But do not see, does not mean that there is no, the world is like a picture of Taiji, there is a white side, there is also a black side.
Never overestimate humanity, never ignore danger.
